All photos have been taken at Caneo natural reserve, Fossalon di Grado, Isonzo River Mouth, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, 0 m. asl.

"A new section of the great work based on field recordings from Spain. Limited edition. From Paul: 'On returning to Memorias Extranjeras (and to the Spanish city of Valencia), the foggy, dark somberness that punctuated the first CD had gone. A fundamental change had occurred in the 12 months between Memorias Extranjeras and Más Memorias Extranjeras and there was a desire to reflect this and re-work the piece to match this clearer change in perspective. The two releases are two sides of the same coin, one darker, more detached and the other, calmer and more open. Memories that had changed and warped, softened and melded together, the same experience revisited through different eyes." Same cover art as ALL 023CD.

"Seattle-based composer Dale Lloyd has collaborated in the past with people such as Yannick Dauby and Michael Northam, and has had work released by labels such as Bremsstrahlung Recordings, Staalplaat and Sirr.ecords. The first piece entitled 'Semper,' is mostly a quiet and contemplative work, yet it contains sprawling builds from near-silent ebbs and flows to thunderous crescendos. Also heard are delicate field recordings and found objects transformed and woven into intricate electronic tapestries. The second and shorter piece titled 'Magnesian Recumbit' is a slowly building ambient work with a unique sense of melancholy that makes for a perfect ending."

"Gino Zardo is a photographer and field recordist born to Italian parents in Australia in 1968. He lives In New York and has worked with some of the world's most prominent photographers for 18 years. Walking East is his debut release. Janek Schaefer is a sound artist/musician from London Walking East is a photographic sound portrait of my travels through the North Western provinces of India, the Himalayas of Nepal and the Island of Papua New Guinea I set out to explore, through the people I met, the way in which my photographs and sound recordings could magnify a sense of time and place. I began the project in January 1999, covering 50,000 miles through the vast contrasting landscapes over the next year. I found myself trekking for days before I would reach a remote village, a western desert, a tropical monsoon, or a dense jungle. Camping along the way and living amongst the families and tribes, I was able to experience their daily lives and acquire an understanding of their histories and cultures. I found many similarities as I documented a variety of people as they performed in music festivals, worked in steel mills, sold their wares in markets, and celebrated their tribal rituals together. The presence of community, hardship, joy and survival are universal."
